Framework to help Natural Resource Management (NRM) groups build resilience

A framework to help Natural Resource Management (NRM) groups build resilience in rural and regional communities has been developed by a team from The University of Queensland (UQ). Professor Helen Ross, from UQ’s School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, says NRM groups are well positioned to help communities thrive alongside improving their environments, and to also improve their capacities to deal with and adapt to major changes such as industry deregulations, economic downturns and natural disasters.
